The Tax Planning Services You Deserve

Your Tax Savings Come From Our Strategic Advice.

Tax Savings Strategies

Tax savings for small business owners goes way beyond a simple home office deduction, personal car miles and cell phone bills. Monotelo's tax savings strategies are designed to capture the intersection between the federal tax code and your unique situation as a small business owner.

Market Compensation

Most S-Corp owners are aware of the tax benefits of separating wage income from S-corp profits, but expose themselves when they fail to address IRS fair market compensation requirements. The Monotelo process is designed to audit-proof your owners' compensation while minimizing your tax liability.

Entity Selection Process

Your choice of entity matters. LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, Sole Proprietorship, LLP all have different tax implications; and the best entity structure for your business depends on your unique personal financial situation. Monotelo can help you determine the tax deduction advantages and disadvantages of each option.

Entity Structuring

When buying or starting a business, one of the first things to consider is the legal form you will use to own and operate the business. Once the ideal entity structure has been identified, Monotelo can help you get your entity in place and equip you to operate within compliance of state and federal regulations.

Allocating Your Tax Savings To Create Growth

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Enacted in January of 2018 shifted the Retirement Planning landscape.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act radically shifted the Retirement Planning Landscape. Are you taking advantage of the new opportunities?

The new tax law instituted several significant changes to the individual income tax, including reforms to itemized deductions, the alternative minimum tax and lower marginal tax rates across brackets.

​

These changes radically impact how small business owners should be preparing for retirement. If your financial plan was put in place prior to December of 2017 you are likely missing out.
